perhaps it is because I have

linux_enable=yes

in /etc/rc.conf

yes in df -h i have

linprocfs                 4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%    /usr/pkg/emul/linux/proc

now :-)

BUT the next step fails :-(

/compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig: invalid option -- a
Try `ldconfig --help' or `ldconfig --usage' for more information.
dfly-vmsrv#

what could have gone wrong?

thanks :-)
